Kiwiana Caravan
This display features an old caravan brimming over with memorabilia from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Climb aboard the tiny, 2125mm wide x 3100mm long, three berth, New Zealand made, Anglo Imp caravan and recall the simple pleasures of holidays of yesteryear. Contemplate the clothesline and consider what comfort - or otherwise - wet woollen togs would give!
This delightful time capsule celebrates the Taupo district's role as a year round playground - a role that continues today. Many still love to camp, or stay in caravans and motorhomes around Lake Taupo. No doubt they appreciate a few more mod cons than those available in the 50s and 60s.
